The promise of decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is fundamentally gated by the challenge of Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal, with existing solutions often reintroducing the very centralization they seek to avoid. This…
Network Address Translation (NAT) causes well-known difficulties for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, since the peers involved may not be reachable at any globally valid IP address. Several NAT traversal techniques are known, but their…
IPv6 is a fundamentally different Internet Protocol than IPv4, and IPv6-only networks cannot, by default, communicate with the IPv4 Internet. This lack of interoperability necessitates complex mechanisms for incremental deployment and…
NAT64 is an IPv6 transition mechanism that enables IPv6-only hosts to access the IPv4 Internet. Understanding the deployment of NAT64, and its performance impact, is crucial to the success of the IPv6 transition, by encouraging IPv6-only…
In recent times, the prevalence of home NATs and the widespread implementation of Carrier-Grade NATs have posed significant challenges to various applications, particularly those relying on Peer-to-Peer communication. This paper addresses…
Distributed systems with different levels of dependence to central services have been designed and used during recent years. Pure peer-to-peer systems among distributed systems have no dependence on a central resource. DHT is one of the…
Differential privacy (DP) is a privacy-enhancement technology (PET) that receives prominent attention from the academia, industry, and government. One main development over the past decade has been the decentralization of DP, including…
Network Address Translation (NAT) plays an essential role in shielding devices inside an internal local area network from direct malicious accesses from the public Internet. However, recent studies show the possibilities of penetrating NAT…
Recently, a new generation of P2P systems capable of addressing data integrity and authenticity has emerged for the development of new applications for a "more" decentralized Internet, i.e., Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) and…
Centralized Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) when used in distributed systems have performance constraints as all traffic must traverse through a central server. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift towards the use of P2P in VPNs…
NAT gateway is an important network system in today's IPv4 network when translating a private IPv4 address to a public address. However, traditional NAT system based on Linux Netfilter cannot achieve high network throughput to meet modern…
